"As an urban district, we need to be creative in an urban kind of way, and double dutch does that for us."

Jump rope cool.
Many Double Dutch champions go on to tremendous success in life.
I hate to see boys jumping double dutch....almost as much as I hate to see them popping gum.

What Up Sista Nurse!
You remind me of the women in my family.
Hey DV,

I receive the compliment...su familia es mi familia..
Hmmm - This Eric Goldstein is Chief Executive of the Public School Athletic League...whose mission statement is:
"The mission of the Public Schools Athletic League is to provide opportunities for educating students in physical fitness, character development and socialization skills through an athletic program that fosters teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship.
PSAL Supports Academic Standards
A student must pass four credit-bearing subjects and physical education.
Two of the four subjects passed must be in the areas of English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Foreign Language or Science.

Sounds like they've got the academic concern covered, DV.
That shit is gay
Rj you double dutch fam??
That's good to hear Mel.
Sounds like I should have given the NY Public school system more credit.
If more americans could double dutch like these kids, the incidences of diabetes, heart disease and stroke, obesity and general miserable insanity, would be greatly diminished.
jump baby, jump. (and get a grade!)
Never could double dutch. Always wished I could.
I jump rope at the gym now. It kicks my ass continuously!
